Damn, I was told Peace President, but all they do and say is "War", "War", "War".
Yewp. he wants a permanent over-burdened underclass of low-wage workers with no education, choice or recourse. And so does the Heritage wing.
"His techno-optimism is a thin veil over a dark, fascist impulse, a desire to build a future where technology serves not to liberate, but to segregate, control, and ensure the perpetual supremacy of the Silicon Valley oligarchs."
He could teabag the Liberty Bell, light the Federalist Papers on fire, and scream “I AM THE PEDOPHILE ELITE!”—and Charlie Kirk would host an INCEL summer summit in his honor. open.substack.com/pub/jojofrom...
A key aspect of a concentration camp is that they detain people indefinitely who are not charged with a crime with no opportunity to challenge their detention. This is what immigration detention is. abcnews.go.com/US/millions-...
All of them are relentless gobbing pigs at the public trough. Just too many cool vacations and sporting events and expensive plastic surgery temptations to attend by private jet. I mean, that's what the Big Bill was for, right?
ROSEN: Despite being removed as national security adviser, surprisingly, you've been on the WH payroll. You've said you'll root out waste at the UN. Can you confirm whether you've been receiving a salary? WALTZ: I was kept on as an adviser transitioning a number of, uh, important activities

I wrote this story too long and too slow so that you could feel the layers and layers of policies and forms and bureaucracy smothering these Women’s Domestic Violence Centers. The funding is slowly being choked off and it is a tragedy.
Across the country, women’s domestic violence centers are closing their doors,not because the need has gone away, but because the funding has. When a center closes,It’s a crisis hotline that stops ringing. A child who loses a trauma counselor. A woman who now has nowhere to turn.

Beautiful. Your garden is always a treat.
Beautiful. LA and the flowers. The occupiers are not. Viva Los Angeles and death to ICE.
Between this idiot move and a crippled FBI, terrorists are seeing less enforcement.

"Since the start of Trump’s second term, the Court has routinely allowed the administration to implement objectively unconstitutional actions by pretending that they’re simply making a narrow procedural ruling rather than blessing Trump’s wholesale destruction of democracy."
He’d probably look better blue than orange.
I’m sure this is nothing…
Trump wants to treat animals almost as cruelly as women.
NEW: Joe Biden's former WH doctor pleaded the 5th today to decline questions from the House Oversight Committee. It's a strategy that Trump allies used 30+ times during the Jan. 6 probe and was effective in ending lines of questioning w/ Hailey Fuchs www.politico.com/live-updates...
Doocy tries to get Trump to react to a John Fetterman quote, but Trump has some trouble understanding it and has Doocy read it again
The pitch email bounced back, so here are mine:
you can't ake this shit up.
Genius. No notes. I wish I thought of it. mamdanitimes.com
Trump: "Parts of Africa charge us tremendous tariffs, and they're gonna be dropping those tariffs. They've already informed me."
Trump: "I love the fact that churches can endorse political candidates."
Trump, who referred to bankers as "shylocks" a couple days ago, says Harvard "has been very bad. Totally antisemitic."
“I struck a tariff deal with the penguins today. They’re even tougher than President Xi — but they ended up nominating me for the Nobel Peace Prize, so it all worked out.”
The collective anxiety that has replaced buzzing street life serves as a cold reminder that the impacts of mass deportation are not just people detained or business lost but the absence of rhythms and melodies from everyday life.

I had corn yesterday!! That’s a sunflower, but corn was fantastic. Sorry Heather forgot photo. Grilled & boiled 🌽
Looks good. But since my wee one drove this song into my head, I'll pass it on to my lovely friend 😃 youtu.be/_caMQpiwiaU?...
WHen I grew it in another plot the squirrels got it before the stalks could even make corn but the hawks and bobcats and cuyotes are keeping thew squirrels up in the trees these days.
❤️
I AM Corn! Bwahaha!
Wheee!
Oh yea! I have tomatoes! So excited!
The best & sweetest corn always seems to come around the 4th of July! 💙🌽💙
I had corn for the first time this year the other day and it was so good!! Summer is here!!🌽
😁 soon!
Can't believe I have so much from such a tiny plot. Can't believe the raccoons didn't find it.
So what should I bring to the cookout
Butter?
🙌😋
🤣
Those look perfect. We have a local farmstand that just opened a week ago. My husband loves fresh corn on the cob and he eats an ear of roasted corn every night. He never gets tired of it.😊
Unmask ICE.
Canadians are vacationing at home. International tourists are choosing Canada. It's not just the insults, or the tariffs. It's too dangerous to go to America. ICE's powers are without limit. We can't go to a country that treats international visitors as new enemies instead of historic allies.
Q: There are reports where a fire dept commander asked a Kerr County sheriff dispatcher for a code red to be issued but they said they couldn't without a supervisor approving it. Almost 6 hours passes. How do you account for that lapse of time? KERR COUNTY SHERIFF: There's gonna be an after action
Hey, I have corn.
It’s hard to make the Texas flood tragedy worse, except to know that on the same day Trump signed a bill to stop our efforts to defeat the climate change that is causing increased frequency of disastrous floods. And giving us more expensive electricity. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/05/c...
Another reminder this failed “President” has made it his mission to defund FEMA We’re seeing in real time just how stupid of an idea that is Hopefully one of these weak Republican senators can grow an ounce of a spine and tell him that! TRASH ALL PLANS FOR THAT NOW!
You weren’t supposed to understand the point of DOGE. You were used. It’s only ever been an excuse to push a massive billionaire tax cut. The only way to “pay” for that was to gut everything - FEMA, NOAA, vaccines, education. Once that was done, average people became collateral. Wakey Wakey Elon!
My youngest gave me this fun portrait of Chance for Mother’s Day last year and I always catch Maple staring at it. Bet she’s wondering “What do you have to do to get a shrine around here?”
This from Tommy Tuberville may be the most racist things a U.S. senator has said in my lifetime. And the bar is high. www.al.com/politics/202...

Sometimes calls for prayer are sincere and sometimes they are an argument: a claim that this is God’s fault and our choices and policies have nothing to do with it.

I still find it hard to believe that Biden let this happen….oh wait..
Yeah, but Trump is handling it, so....at least they have paper towels?
Excellent question.
I’m angered & sickened every time one of these heartless idiots open their mouths!!! 🤬
Thanks for the timely update

Dan Patrick sucks as a human. Ficking lying p.o.s.
I'm super busy but here's my weekly reminder that the Authoritarian goal of creating a permanent over-burdened underclass of low-wage workers with no information, education, choice or recourse is moving along, swimmingly.
It's all to grab power and privatize.
Destroy weather forecasting so you do not need to discuss climate change is about as craven as it gets.
Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick: "There were alert warning that went out, we believe, by the locals."
Yes, you paid federal taxes for services. But Russell Vought thinks government should provide no service. So we gutted services. And we did so without warning you. And Trump danced. Enjoy his victory.
She's an uncaring spokesmodel but Russell Vought and the Heritage idiot maniacs are to blame.
Kristi Noem is the monster responsible.

Some government expenditures are good and very important, actually
Damn right! I have stopped in Kerrville many times driving across TX. I lived in San Antonio. It’s infuriating and heartbreaking to see so much loss that could have been mitigated.
Remember in 2019 the LA Times reported that Trump suggested filling a moat with alligators and snakes to poison or eat migrants, and Trump claimed that it was “Fake News?” I do. The focus has been now, and not the fulfillment of what he was stopped from doing then www.latimes.com/opinion/stor...
